‘Him & Her’ to return for Series 3

BBC Three’s hit comedy Him & Her has been recommissioned for a third series, it has been announced today.

Starring Russell Tovey (Being Human) and Sarah Solemani as the anti-romantic couple, Steve and Becky, Him & Her will be back for six new 30-minute episodes.

Speaking exclusively to CultBox earlier this month, Tovey told us: “There’s so much scope for more storylines to keep telling their story, even though we never leave the flat. The series ends on a big dramatic twist to a new event that can definitely be a catalyst for the third series.”

BBC Three controller Zai Bennett has also recommissioned new sitcom Pramface before Series 1 has even aired. Written by Chris Reddy, the show follows couple Laura (Scarlett Alice Johnson) and Jamie (Sean Verey) as they “continue their tentative and unexpected journey into parenthood following a brief, drunken hook-up”.

Other new BBC Three comedy commissions include: Bad Education, written by and starring Fresh Meat‘s Jack Whitehall as “the worst teacher ever to grace the British education system”; The Revolution Will Be Televised, described as “Newsnight meets Trigger Happy TV“; and Some Girls, “a comedy about the kind of girls more usually seen in worrying documentaries about inner city teens”.
